Description

The Air Damper is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a component located inside the fridge behind the evaporator cover that controls the flow of cold air circulating throughout the fridge compartment. The damper opens and closes to direct air as needed to efficiently maintain set temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad air damper include:

• Inability to achieve or maintain proper fridge temperatures 
• Condensation buildup inside 
• Frosted evaporator cover
• Warm or cold spots in different areas of the fridge

Causes of a bad damper can be wear and tear of the movable parts over time, failure of the actuator motor that powers it, or damage from accidental blocking of the damper mechanism.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
